I use Remington #10 caps on my Pietta Remington 1858. I'd venture to guess that the nipples are the same size. I use them because other sizes don't fit on my Ruger. The Pietta's aren't quite as tight so maybe another size/brand may also work well.
The nipples I bought for my Ruger state they are sized for CCI #11 (standard non magnum) caps, but I can't find that size. The Remington #11's are too big and need to be pinched, and the CCI #11 mags are a little too small and often need to be struck twice.
Triple 7 may be what you'll want. Pyrodex residue is somewhat gooey to me. I greatly dislike it. There's another substitute or two that I haven't tried as I prefer Triple 7 or Olde Eynsford (real black powder).
